Thank the Lord, my rock... my merciful one, my fortress, my stronghold, and my savior, my shield, the one in whom I take refuge... O Lord, what are humans that you should care about them? What are mere mortals that you should think about them? Humans are like a breath of air. Their life span is like a fleeting shadow. O God, I will sing a new song to you. May our sons be like full-grown, young plants. May our daughters be like stately columns... May our barns be filled with all kinds of crops. May no one break in, and may no one be dragged out. Blessed are the people who have these blessings! Blessed are the people whose God is the Lord ! (Psalms 144:1-4, 9, 12-15 GWT) Be thankful in prayer for God's blessings, and confidently trust in Him. ©Word-Strong_2013
